RENAME NING-TU HSIEN PO-SHENG COUNTY AND CONVENE A MEMORIAL MEETING TO
COMMEMORATE COMRADE CHAO PO-SHENG--ORDER NO 15 OF CENTRAL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
13 January 1933

[Text] Comrade Chao Po-sheng [6392 0590 3932], Deputy General Commander of
the 5th Corps and leader of the 13th Army, was a leader in the Ning-tu
[1337 6757] soldiers' riots and the creator of the 5th Corps of the Chinese
Workers-Peasant Red Army. At this time, our Red Army has won successive
great victories at Nan-fu [0589 2329] and Chin-hsi [6855 3005], destroying
and routing main force units of the enemy's large-scale attack on the Central
Soviet--the reorganized warlord 90th division and warlord Chiang's 14th
and 27th divisions had moved close to Fu-nan [2329 0589] city--and so began
this year's great victories by smashing the enemy's large-scale attack.
Unfortunately, Comrade Chao Po-sheng sacrificed his life in the Nan-ch'eng
[0589 1004] campaign, in which he led all of his fighters in a heroic and
determined hand-to-hand battle with the enemy, and with numerically inferior
forces put to flight a full division of warlord Chiang Kai-shek's main
units--the 14th Division--thereby completing the complete victory of our
main-force army in the environs of Fu-chou [2329 1558]. In order to
commemorate Chao Po-sheng's glorious feats of leading the Ning-chou riots
and heroically sacrificing his life for the revolution, the Provisional
Central Government has decided to change the name of Ning-tu Hsien to
Po-sheng Hsien. In addition, in the course of this year's Li Lu [2621 4151]
commemoration (the 21st) all Soviets will hold a memorial service and proclaim
the establishment of Po-sheng County. It is so ordered.
